He was previously considered one of the top prospects in the 2027 recruiting class and committed to the Crimson Tide on May 21. The New York native was a 4-star point guard in the 2027 class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking.

Diaz's reclassification makes him the fourth member of Alabama's 2026 recruiting class, joining 4-stars Jaxon Richardson, Qayden Samuels, and Tarris Bouie. Before Diaz's reclassification, the class was previously ranked No. 4 in the country.

Diaz last played for the Cold Hearts in Overtime Elite in Atlanta, Georgia, where he averaged 19.3 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game while shooting 50.8% from the floor and 40.4% from 3-point range. He's the eighth new addition to the Tide's roster this offseason, joining the three freshmen and transfer Jamarion Davis-Fleming (Mississippi State), Drew Fielder (Boise State), Brandon Garrison (Kentucky), and Cole Cloer (NC State).
